Description of the nature of the root
This Tuskwood root S2162620 is a sturdy and compact piece of wood with a natural, interrupted top that gives a raw and authentic feel.
Aquarium style suggestions and planting ideas
Its simple, stable shape makes it suitable as a basic building block or as part of a larger root formation in the aquarium. The surface offers good attachment points for epiphytic plants such as Anubias, Bucephalandra and Java fern. Mosses can also be attached to create a smoother, more natural transition. It can be placed vertically to create height or horizontally as part of the bottom landscape.
Dimensions of the root
- Length: 29cm
- Height: 31 cm
- Depth: 6cm
Proposed aquarium format and size
Measuring 29 cm in length, 31 cm in height and 6 cm in depth/width, it is a medium-sized element that fits well in many aquariums.

Advantages of Tuskwood
- Genuine mineralised bogwood / moss wood
- Long life span
- Normally no biofilm or mucus formation
- Works in both hard and soft water
- Reliable sinking ability, normally sinking within 2-4 weeks
- Naturally beautiful colour tones in dark brown with a slightly reddish tinge under water
Unlike regular spiderwood, manzanita, mangrove or Malaysian driftwood, Tuskwood comes from Europe and has formed naturally in Nordic peatlands. The mineralisation and impregnation of humus makes the wood durable and beautiful.
Tuskwood slowly releases natural humic substances that support fish health. However, the impact on the colour of the water is minimal and usually not noticeable.
- Stable and mild release of humus
- Positive for the well-being of fish
- Spleen antimicrobial
A more sustainable choice
Much of the wood sold for aquascaping comes from tropical forests in Asia and is shipped halfway around the world.
Tuskwood is a Nordic natural material, collected locally as a by-product of other natural uses. This makes it a more sustainable choice, without tropical unregulated logging, mangrove destruction or undignified labour conditions. Tuskwood stands for minimal transportation and the promotion of local economy and jobs.
